Okay, let’s work through this step-by-step. --- ### **Step 1 – Identify the industry** Iberdrola S.A. is a major Spanish utility with regulated and unregulated power generation (renewables), networks, and retail supply operations. It fits best under **Regulated Utilities** and **Unregulated Power And Gas** methodologies. --- ### **Step 2 – Adjusted EBITDA** From the data: - Reported **EBITDA** (Beneficio Bruto De Explotacion Ebitda) for 2022 = **€13,228m** S&P adjustments: 1. **Leases**: - Right-of-use assets = €2,370m - Lease liabilities (current + noncurrent) = €151m + €2,287m = €2,438m Lease depreciation = ~€2,370m (for simplicity, assuming it equals asset value) Lease interest = we estimate from finance costs and lease liabilities. We'll adjust EBITDA upward by lease depreciation (add back). 2. **Non-recurring items**: Other gains/losses = €911m gain included in EBITDA. This could be partially nonrecurring if from asset sales. We'll exclude all of it as nonrecurring. 3. **Pensions**: No obvious defined benefit adjustment needed here; pension expense already in employee benefits. 4. **JV proportional EBITDA**: Share of profit from equity method = €146m (after tax, so not EBITDA). This is immaterial to adjust proportionally without further detail. So: **Adjusted EBITDA** = 13,228 − 911 (nonrecurring gain) + 2,370 (lease depreciation add-back) = **€14,687m** --- ### **Step 3 – FFO** FFO = Adjusted EBITDA − cash interest − cash taxes **Cash interest**: Finance costs = €3,042m, but we need cash portion. From cash flow statement: - Interest paid on debt = €1,495m - Interest paid on leases = €61m Total cash interest = **€1,556m** **Cash taxes**: Income tax expense = €1,161m. From cash flow: taxes paid = **€1,055m**. **FFO** = 14,687 − 1,556 − 1,055 = **€12,076m** --- ### **Step 4 – Adjusted Debt** Adjusted Debt = reported debt + leases + pension deficit + hybrids + other − surplus cash **Reported debt**: Noncurrent financial liabilities (debt) = €36,129m Current financial liabilities (debt) = €10,458m = **€46,587m** **Leases**: Noncurrent lease liabilities = €2,287m Current lease liabilities = €151m = **€2,438m** **Hybrids**: "Instrumentos de Capital con Caracteristicas de Pasivo Financiero" (noncurrent + current) = €576m + €87m = **€663m** S&P typically includes 50% of hybrids as debt = **€331.5m** **Pension deficit**: Noncurrent provisions for employee benefits = €1,226m Current = €42m Total = €1,268m (we'll classify this as debt-like) **Other debt-like items**: None significant from the data. **Cash**: €4,608m (S&P may cap surplus cash; here all assumed eligible) **Adjusted Debt** = 46,587 + 2,438 + 331.5 + 1,268 − 4,608 = **€46,016.5m** --- ### **Step 5 – FFO / Adjusted Debt** = 12,076 ÷ 46,016.5 ≈ **0.2624** --- 0.2624
